Paula Hynes: The day our daughter took a calf to school

Georgie had a chance to share her passion for dairy showing at school with Kalani before the mid-term break, while Paula got ready for holidays, farmer-style

Rathard Choco Kalani with Aisling and Georgie at Kilbonane National School.

Before the schools closed for their mid-term break, Kalani took a trip to school with Georgie. The principal of Kilbonane National School, Mr Brophy, has always been great at encouraging students with their talents and hobbies — and for Georgie, showing ticks both boxes. 

Kalani’s dam, Kasey, had visited the school with Georgie in 2022, so it was a lovely reminder of how time flies when we saw Kalani in the schoolyard with Georgie. The duo put on a display of what happens in a showmanship class and explained what a judge looks for in a dairy animal.
